Say what you will about Whitney. She was many things, but you can't deny that she had a great set of lungs. She was also a pretty decent actress. I was just watching something with her on T.V. today and she looked healthy and happy even though she was with that fame whore Ray J. Sad to see her go and sad over the fact that her voice was gradually deteriorating. R.I.P.

Oh snap! RIP Whitney :(

[Pheesh]

We will always love you.

...Dear god, I'm sorry. I'll leave now.

I just heard. It ruined my evening.

So many legendary American entertainers have died, many way too young, in the last few years. It's making me sad.

RIP Whitney. You made some bad choices that ruined your career, but I still love you. ;_;

I must say that I wasn't one bit surprised when I first heard the news this morning. But, this is indeed a tragic ordeal. :(

I think we all, at one point or another, have embarrassed ourselves by singing a Whitney song in public.

I think I have done this :|

Tragic news but like some of you I'm not completely surprised. She had an amazing voice, the best since Marvin Gaye IMO. R.I.P.

Yeah, I think with some of her lifestyle choices then you could unfortunately see this coming. I wasn't really into her music but you can't deny the talent that she had. I really didn't like what she did with "I Will Always Love You" (far too piercing) but she could really belt out a tune.

It always amuses me whenever I hear someone try to sing a Whitney song and 99% of the time they don't even come close to doing it justice. Definitely a rare talent. Rest in Peace.

Should have got a better bodyguar-*shot*

How sad. First Michael Jackson, then Amy Winehouse, and now Whitney Houston.

In the cases of Jackson and Houston, both were recovering drug addicts who tried to get clean, but just as they were about to make their comebacks, they died.

May she, and all the others before her, rest in peace for all eternity. Their legacies will live on...

Whitney did make her comeback in 2009 and it was a success album sales wise, but then as she went touring people realized the drugs had taken a toll on her. Her voice was no longer what it was. For that reason, I highly doubt she would've been able to make a legit comeback this year, but either way still sad to see her go.

Imagine if she hadn't have fucked her life up with cocaine. She may even be alive today.
